Client context
Who we worked with
BSQ (Besque) sells a hero skincare product, Magic Body Oil, mainly through advertorial landing pages for paid traffic.
The tested page was besque.co/pages/magic-body-oil-lp.
The problem
What was holding conversions back
Our copy research found the headline was feature-focused. It listed results, "firmer, tighter, glowing", instead of giving cold traffic a reason to keep reading.
The same review flagged scattered calls to action and a late price reveal on the page.
Hypothesis
What we expected to happen
If the headline opens a story and a curiosity gap instead of listing features, more cold visitors will read on and buy, lifting conversion rate and revenue per visitor.

Learnings
What we took away
On advertorials for cold traffic, the headline is one of the highest-leverage elements on the page.
A story hook with a curiosity gap beat a list of product features.
